Hardest Gym Leader?

I think everyone will put down Whitney, Her darned Miltank is like hacked or something!

 

True that. That Miltank was a little too strong for that point in the game. As a young kid I remember I found Sabrina hard, though. Psychic types were a bit overpowered in my opinion back in Gen 1.

 

On White2 I found clay nearly impossible for me to beat. His sandslash and krokorock were pieces of cake for a leavanny, but that darned excadrill mauled all of my guys one hit. Even if pignite could take a hit, his flame charge wouldn't kill the thing.

 

Sabrina was pretty hard....Whitney in the second generation.
Hmm. I can't remember having trouble after those.

 

3rd Gen Wattson, Winona, and Tate and Liz

 

Sabrina. Not only was she hard, she was kind of scary too.... xD

 

After restarting FireRed recently, I pretty much smashed all the gyms into pieces.
I guess I just picked up my team members at the right times.
Sabrina was actually really easy, my Scyther's Fury Cutter (Scyther has a pretty small movepool in this game) did the trick pretty well, and I had Arcanine's Bite as a backup.

As for generation two, I sometimes get trouble with Bugsy if I avoid trainers and Whitney is SO annoying.

 

Try using Charamander against Brock. It's freaking hard. And so is Misty. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

 

I remember I picked Charmander as my first starter ever in the first games. Brock was pretty hard if you don't build up a Butterfree or something.

 

Am I the only one who had trouble with Brock in Pokémon Yellow?

I mean, all you had was Pikachu, and then all you could catch in the wild were Rattatas and Pidgeys. Something tells me they won't help against an Onix and a Geodude.

 

I'm pretty sure you could catch a Mankey on Route 24, the one leading to Victory Road.

 

Whitney's Miltank...

 

Clair was really challenging.Due to me not having an ice type or dragon type when I got to her.

 

Whitney, but only on Gameboy Color. She's kind of easy in Heart Gold/Soul Silver, but I just can't handle Stomp in Second Generation.

 

I'll join in with the Whitney haters... even in HGSS I found her tough.

I always found Wattson and Liza/Tate to be tough in Nuzlocke runs, as well.

 

I don't really remember having any issues with the gym leaders in Crystal. Not even Whitney's Miltank. It may be that my Meganium received all the experience and I could freely spam everything with strength, cut, flash, and maybe razor leaf. Not a well thought out moveset but it got me through the elite four and the champion :\

 

Wattson when I didn't choose Mudkip as a starter.
Never had problems with Whitney's Miltank actually, probably because my Pokémon are mostly female (not intended, it just happens) and I knocked her out before Rollout started being dangerous.

 

To this day I remember singing "Rollout!" whenever I fought that stupid Miltank. http://youtu.be/t21DFnu00Dc?t=17s Rollout....Rollout...Rollout...

 

Obviously it was Whitney and that milk squirting cow of hers. I have a an image to go with my belief below.


-_- WTF Miltank!
